Synopsis

The 1960s British Invasion meets one of the greatest novels ever written! In this thrilling adventure of the heart, Tom Jones, the charming young man of questionable birth and the ward of Squire Allworthy, is madly in love with Sophie Western and she with him. But when Sophie's father arranges for her to marry Squire Allworthy’s loathsome nephew, Blifil, she flees for her life. Tom goes in search of Sophie, but hot on his heels are Sophie's father, Squire Allworthy and Blifil, who are all in search of Sophie as well. Set against this madcap story is music inspired by that frenzied mop-top-led era of music of the 1960s known as the British Invasion—think The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, the Dave Clark Five, the Hollies, the Animals and Petula Clark. Aristocrats, wenches and scalawags abound in this bawdy and rollicking romp through the back roads and bedchambers of England.
